Localization

Important:

If you are running Sitecore 7.5 or higher, consider using Sitecore.Abstractions.ITranslate interface from the Sitecore.Abstractions assembly.

FakeDb supports a simple localization mechanism. You can call the static Sitecore.Globalization.Translate.Text() method and receive a fake localized version of the original text.

There are a couple of options how the text may look like:

• Translate.Text("Hi!") returns "Hi!*" if FakeDb.AutoTranslate is true
• Translate.Text("Hi!") returns "en:Hi!" if FakeDb.AutoTranslatePrefix is {lang}:
• Translate.Text("Hi!") returns "Hi!_en" if FakeDb.AutoTranslateSuffix is _{lang}

There are a couple of ways to enable the auto translation:

• Set the FakeDb.AutoTranslate* settings statically in the App.config file
• Set the settings dynamically in tests using the db.Configuration context

Samples

Translate text by the context language

using (Sitecore.FakeDb.Db db = new Sitecore.FakeDb.Db())
{
  db.Configuration.Settings.AutoTranslate = true;
  string translatedPhrase = Sitecore.Globalization.Translate.Text("Welcome!");

  // note the '*' symbol at the end of the translated phrase
  Xunit.Assert.Equal("Welcome!*", translatedPhrase);
}

Translate text by the given language

using (Sitecore.FakeDb.Db db = new Sitecore.FakeDb.Db())
{
  db.Configuration.Settings.AutoTranslate = true;
  db.Configuration.Settings.AutoTranslatePrefix = "{lang}:";

  var lang = Sitecore.Globalization.Language.Parse("da");

  // translate by the given language
  string translatedPhrase
    = Sitecore.Globalization.Translate.TextByLanguage("Welcome!", lang);

  Xunit.Assert.Equal("da:Welcome!", translatedPhrase);
}
